A tragic incident unfolded in Gaza Strip when an attack during a Palestinian funeral left at least seven people dead and 22 others injured
At least 7 people were killed and 22 others injured in an Israeli attack during a funeral in the Gaza Strip, according to a local hospital. There has been no immediate official response from the Israeli military regarding the incident. Al-Awda Hospital in the Nuseirat refugee camp confirmed the casualty figures, stating that the attack occurred while people were attending the funeral of a Palestinian who had been killed in an earlier Israeli strike on Friday. Israel and Hamas had reached a ceasefire agreement in October aimed at ending the two-year conflict. While large-scale fighting has decreased, violence has not completely stopped. According to Gaza's Health Ministry, more than 1,123 people have died since the ceasefire took effect.
Gaza's Health Ministry says it maintains detailed casualty records, which UN agencies and independent experts generally consider reliable. An independent UN investigation has made serious allegations that Palestinian children in Gaza were deliberately targeted. On the other hand, Israel says its military actions are ongoing in response to attacks on soldiers and ceasefire violations by Hamas and other armed groups. According to Israeli officials, five Israeli soldiers have also died since the ceasefire took effect.
